Aircraft Design Engineer – Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)
Job summary:
We are looking for highly motivated and experienced Aircraft Design Engineer to join our Aircraft Body Team. As a member of this team, you will be responsible for conceptualization, design, and development of aircraft and its components: wings, fuselages, control surfaces etc.
Your responsibilities:
- Creating detailed three-dimensional surface models of aircraft components using 3D CAD software
- Design and optimize shapes and aircraft structures to improve aerodynamic performance
- Generate precise technical drawings, including sections based on the 3D models for manufacturing, assembly, and testing purposes
- Designing assemblies and sub-assemblies of aerospace systems, ensuring proper fit, function, and integration of components
- Close collaboration with CFD and FEM engineers, providing support to structural engineers by creating CAD models for finite element analysis and structural simulations
- Collaborating with engineers, technicians, and other team members to ensure design meets performance, safety, and compliance with industry standards and regulations
- Updating and revising existing CAD models and drawings based on feedback, design changes, or new requirements
- Assisting in the creation of prototypes and mock-ups based on CAD designs to support testing, evaluation, and validation processes
- Support the aircraft development from concept to production, resolving any design, manufacturing, and assembly issues along the way
Qualifications / Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Aerospace, Aeronautical, Mechanical Engineering or related field
- Minimum 5 years of experience in similar role
- Proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks, Siemens NX)
- Strong understanding of aeronautical design principles and industry standards
- Experience in creating detailed and complex surface 3D models and technical drawings for whole aircraft and aircraft components
- Knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) principles
- Prior experience in the aeronautical industry or a related field is desirable
- Experience with composite materials and their design principles in aircraft structures
- Fluent in English language (minimum C1 level), both spoken and written
- Familiarity with CFD, structural analysis and finite element analysis (FEA) is a plus
- Experience with prototyping and testing processes is desirable
- Ability to collaborate effectively with engineers and other team members to develop and refine designs
- High level of self-reliance with the ability to work in a team, as well as autonomously is required
